Relations between the Trump administration and Azerbaijan are excellent.
“Elchi” reports that President Ilham Aliyev stated this at the 4th Shusha Global Media Forum.
“We are very pleased that these relations have already reached the level of strategic partnership.
My historic meeting with President Trump in Washington last August, our meeting in Davos this January, Azerbaijan’s invitation to be one of the founding members of the Peace Council initiated by President Trump, Vice President J.D. Vance’s visit to Azerbaijan, the signing of the Joint Declaration on the establishment of a strategic partnership with him in Baku, and other events show that our relations have risen to an unprecedented level in history.
Currently, we are actively working on the implementation of all provisions of the Strategic Partnership Declaration. Working groups established for this purpose are very active in the fields of trade and investment, digital transformation and artificial intelligence, energy security and transport connectivity, defense, and arms sales,” the head of state noted.
President Ilham Aliyev emphasized that the US has lifted all restrictions on arms sales to Azerbaijan: “Immediately after this, the United Kingdom and member countries of the European Union took the same step. I think that all this very clearly demonstrates the spirit, essence, and future potential of our bilateral relations.”
